Adebayo burst onto the season during the 2019-20 regular season and earned his first All-Star Game appearance. He is now becoming even more of a household name thanks to his performance in the playoffs.
Adebayo finished Game 1 with 18 points, nine assists, six rebounds, two blocks and a steal.
His second block on Tuesday night won the Heat Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Adebayo and the Heat have to win only three more games before the third-year star is playing on the game’s biggest stage, the NBA Finals.
